Design and evaluation of mixers in domestic burner using liquiefied petroleum gas

The design and experimental evaluation of six mixers for a premix burner of 1,5 kW thermal power, using liquefied petroleum gas as fuel gas is presented. An investigation focused on the design parameters of the mixer to improve the performance of the domestic gas cooker in the combustion process is developed. This is manifested in the thermal performance and the emissions generated, so the analysis of the air-fuel gas mixers is presented for different conditions to determine the most suitable according to the model. The construction of a high efficiency and low emissions cooker is proposed, delivering to the competent entity a project of a technical standard on thermal performance of domestic cookers with liquefied petroleum gas at sea level.
